New Computer build (first ever)

[OfficialNate]

Hello this is my first pc build. I have a 1500 dollar budget and this is what I have so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/hht9JV

If you have any suggestions please tell me

1. if you going to OC then you need a better CPU cooler than hyper212 to get the best out of tat i7.

2. if you are not oc, then the 750W psu is overkill.

3. I suggest a mid tower instead of full, they are massive and with ur build there will be a lot of waste space. but this is only my personal preference.

Ok. I did go with a full size case because I heard that the MSI 1070 gaming x is a big card and I didn't want it to not fit. I want to overclock to about 4.6 ghz so do you know of any fans that could do this while not being too loud? Thanks for the suggestions btw

In the specifications for the case it will say the maximum size of a graphics card it can hold so you can compare those tot he size of the card and save some money on the case and use it for a different CPU cooler if you are going to overclock.

And maybe look at a liquid cooler because those work magic for overclocking

Nah. Any mid tower should be able to hold long graphic cards with no problem, plus, pcpartpick check this for you so if this is the only reason you go for full tower than I suggest you to reconsider a mid tower.

 

for CPU cooler, I heard CRYORIG H7 is a decently option. But 4.6Ghz is pushing pretty hard. Maybe a corsair h100 v2. Its bit expensive but if you choose a midtower, you should be able to use the saved amount on the cpu cooler.

The corsair H80 worked for me but I was only going up to 4Ghz

I probably wont overclock it that high anyways. Just wanted something that could cool it if I wanted to. Is the CRYORIG H7 quiet? I am looking for more quiet cpu coolers.

[OfficialNate]

Also, I plan on having 5 case fans so my cpu cooler wont need to run at full speed

Sorry meant CRYORIG H5 NOT H7. H7 is considered same cooling performance with 212

Dont really have experience with CRYORIG but from my experience with 212, which is already pretty quiet you should be fine. It wont a noisy monster roaring.

You REALLY dont need 5 case fans. you wont get a linear gain on cooling for adding case fans. 2 intake 1 outtake is all you need.

[OfficialNate]

Alright thanks Devin92 for all the help. Im sorry if I sound nooby cause this is my first build.

Here's a subtle black/white theme build with faster ram, larger storage and sweet looking case. Hope you have a 1440p display cuz the 1070 is overkill for 1080p.
